are three companies to be inspected;
The Connor Mounted Riaemen, COM

Hampton Light Dragons, command
ed by Captain D. ". Brailsford, and
the Manning Guards, commanded by
Captain A. Levi. They are well uni
formed and have full complement Of
men and accoutrements. On lnspec-
ton and parade, besides making fine
appearance, they Will be the largest
body of our citizen so}diery seen on
our streets since the war Gen. Bon-
ham is anxious that each company
turn out its full number of men, and
they are encouraged to do this for the
State allows the respective commands
four dollars for every man on inspcc-
ton. The money is from the annual
appropriation for the support of the
military, and is all the aid received
from the State, except the arms fur
nished.
General Bonham has made himself
exceedingly popular al! over the State
and especially among the military. 1t
is due to lis exertions that the coun-
try has been aroused to livelier in
terest in military matters. 1t Is a
healthy sign too, for military organi-
cations are the surest means we now
have for the suppression oflawlessness
and the protection OF life and proper
ty. The country is enjoying happy
peace now, but the time has been when
a military Organization here and else
where was sorely needed, and the
time may not be far ahead, when their
presence will be of untold value.
Gen. Bonham will be accorded a
warm welcome on his visit to Manning
By the Clarendon military.

Cohunbia Record Those who failed to get
rid Of their trade dollars at par, ifthere are
any persons who did so fail, have only
themselves to blame. the period during
which they could be redeemed was quite
long enough and the manner of redemption
received wide publicity. The fact that only
IS, O00, 900 were presented for redemption,
however, leads to the not unreasonable con-
clusion that lot more of these coins will
vet be unearthed from the old stockings and
other receptacles in which they have been
hidden, and their owners will be denounc-
ing the government for not taking them at
their face value. People who don't read
the papers, however, do not deserve any
sym pathy if they lose by their negligence,
and arc not likely to get any if they present
their trade dollars now.
marlboro Chronicle: The Coroner Of Berke-
lev has written letter to Mr.. David Gro
mer of Maribc-o. IN which he favors and re-
commends certain changes IL the law as it
pertains tc the Office Of Coroner. He also
asks that Mr. David cooperate with HIM by
seeing tie Representatives FROM this county.
and requesting then to support a bill at the
ncyt session of the Legisl" ur-, making the

need at each inquest each to receive IS per

.Abbeuile Press and Banner: Much is being
said about the propriety or improperly Of
JEFF Davis attending the fair in Atlanta. Mr..
Davis being citizen of a free country we
think he, like every other citizen, has per-
feet right to go. he has no more right. how
ever to speak for this country than any otn
er good citizen If he goes, .he like CleVe-
land, will add something to the show, or
menagerie, and whatever adds to the show
in legitimate way may be all well enough.
But as a matter OF fact, we are inclined to
the opinion that both Cleveland and Davis
should stay away from Atlanta. Mr.. Cleve
land is now solid in the South. He
has nothing to gain by coming here, and
be may lose much. The Republicans know
that he will be renominated for the Presld-
ency, and if any of their newspaper report
ers may distort anything he may say, they
will be very sure to do 50. Mr.. Davis had
better STAY away To be exhibited as q rare
animal ct a show would not be much of a
compliment to the Ex-President Of the South
ern Confederacy.
